Since you mentioned classical mechanics and simulation i want to tell you(if you didn't know) about sicm. https://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/gjs/6946/sicm-h

Since you mentioned classical mechanics and simulation i want to tell you(if you didn't know) about sicm. https://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/gjs/6946/sicm-html/book.html https://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/gjs/6946/sicm-html/bo... I just skimmed through the preface and its definitely a course I'm going to do in the near future.

I'm a huge fan of that book, but am very glad you called it out as more people should know about it. there's also a great companion book "Functional Differential Geometry". My one caveat with that approach is it requires a very specific implementation of their library in MIT Scheme. There probably is a racket implementation by now, but it still looks like it's most small personal github projects. The automatic differentiation landscape has changed considerably since that book was written. I would love to eventually be able to put together something like a guide to Lagrangian mechanics with JAX.
